Attorney General Roberts, for Governor,
is gaining strength daily, and many of his
friends are confident of his nomination. As
remarked by the Baltimore correspondent of
the Baltimore County Democrat, it is quite
significant that none ofthe party leaders will
venture to assert that he will not be nominated
General Roberts, at present, has the field al
most to himself Senator jackson, of Wi
comco, will be backed by three counties at
the convention, but he will not likely increase
his strength, and will soon retire from the
contest. Brown and Hodges are out of the
race, as far as any strength is visible, and at
present General Roberts has no formidable
rival

The grangers OF Montgomery county had a
Thursday, which was largely attended by the
agriegltursts Of. Of the county. The gathering
and politics was discussed as well rs agricul-
ture. In speaking of the political part, a
correspondent of Baltimore paper, says:
'There is strong and growing feeling
springing up all over the county in favor Of
Attorney General Roberts for governor. In
deed, it is stated openly to day that no man
in the state can reach him. 1t is manifest
that some of Colonel Baughman's friends
would like TO place him in nomination, but
they realize that the tide is too strong against
him, and no combination or manipulation can
turn it in his favor.

Board of Visitors at the Naval Academy, at
Annapolis, and the Military Academy, at

right. The liquors are not necessity, and

At the recent opening OF BIDS for supplies
for the National Home of Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers at Hartford, Conn, the contract for
about %, 900 yards of blue cloth and sky blue
kersey was awarded to the Liberty (Va.)
Wooden Mills over a large number of New
England and other competitors. The board
of managers are all Northern men, and if they
had any individual preference, it was not, of
course, in the direction of the Virginia man
ufacturers. The result of this award is a high
compliment to the successful bidders, as well
as an incentive to other Southern manufac
turers.
VIM. Showers, 50 years of age, was arrested
at Annvile, Lebanon county, Pa, at midnight
Of Monday, on the charge of numbering his
grandchildren, William and Samuel, aged re-
spectively and years. They were the
illegitimate offspring of Showers deceased
daughter, and it is Supposed the object of the
crime was to enable the grandfather to marry
a woman who did not want to be hurdened
with the boys, and who wished to have them
cared for by some other persons. The child
rem disappeared about two weeks ago. Their
bodies have been found buried in Showers
yard with ropes around the necks and the
skulls crushed in. The murderer has con-
fessed his crime.
A great fire in New York early last Friday
morning destroyed the Deit Line haliroau
stables, on Tenth avenue, between Fifty third
and Filfy-fourth streets, with 1900 horses;
one wing of Jacob Nevis silk factory, five
brick tenements, a row of frame rookeries on
Tenth avenue, opposite the stables and all the
shanty settlement on Fifty-third street, from
Tenth avenue to within three hundred feet of
Eleventh avenue. The losses of the railroad
company are estimated at $4,000, and i is
thought the total loss will be S750,000. More
than one hundred families, mostly poor peo
pie, were made homeless, and an aged woman,
Elizabeth Walsh, aged 76, who was sick in
bed when the fire broke out, died of fright on
being carried to the sidewalk. A number of
goats, dogs and pigs in the shanty settlement
were burned. The railway company's insur-
ances are estimated at 100000; those of
Jacob New at SIS, 900, and the risks on the
tenements at about an equal amount.
